Xianxia writer these days are pretty much copying parts of other stories and shamelessly integrating them into their world.

But there's a lack of "military and strategy fantasy" in the Xianxia world, despite their advanced weaponry, exotic materials, and martial cultivations spanning thousands of years.

Especially, the lack of Xianxia Cultivation Artillery

It won't be Xianxia anymore.
Hybrid genres exist. If you play enough other aspects of Xianxia to the hilt, it could absolutely be x in a Xianxia universe. This seems like less of a stretch than… idk, Downton Abbey in a Xianxia universe, where a wealthy family of mostly non-cultivators or low end cultivators deal with the down stream effects of Xianxia nonsense alongside their own family drama.

Xianxia is not a setting.

Note that gunpowder did originally came from china and were documented using a long tube that shoots out fragments which is technically the first firearm, and the first shotgun.

Lack of sameness of power equals more decentralization of power oftentime equals lack of coherent government where same powered people cooperate to deal damage or simply cooperate (sect isn't a government). Why waste time when you can sit in the cave for a year or two or decade then to have power enough to become artillery yourself?
